Goodbye.

I lost a friend today. My dad called me to tell me that our Purdy cat passed on. I got to see her this past weekend, and I knew she wasn’t well but it feels lousy all the same. Purdy was more than just a cat, she was my buddy. She followed me home from our evening walk and lived in our garage for a few days before becoming part of our family.  I didn’t think we’d ever get a cat, and then she just showed up. She was affectionate, quirky and intelligent, the best cat there ever was. I always tell charley that he doesn’t like cats because he never had a cat like Purdy.

I’m grateful our family had her for such a long time and I know that all good things have to come to an end. She lived  a long happy cat life, full of naps and humans that loved her. I’m just so sad to say goodbye and know that she won’t be there when I visit home.

Just a little appreciation for the night sky for today:

Dog Ghosts

Charley and Zack were playing x-box with the lights off and I thought it was wonderfully dark. I grabbed a lighter to draw some. Unfortunately we do not keep our lighters filled with fluid so this entertainment was short lived. See the faint shadow of the real Juneau behind me?

It’s quite fun to draw blind. We used to do it as a drawing technique at Winthrop, both unlifted pencil and without looking. I think they’d make a cool abstract print for the wall.

How indecisive can one person be?

Not including the one’s I’ve already deleted or can’t find off my computer, I seem to be a very wishy washy person. I just can’t decide what I want the top of this blog to look like. In fact I don’t even like the name of it but that’s an even harder decision.

Any ideas?

what's your favorite?
